I am picking up my Dennis Galuszka master built stratocaster tomorrow. Steve from CMC Guitars was great in helping me navigate thru the process. Dennis was the best and the guitar is beautiful. I ordered my guitar about a year ago and wanted to make sure I got Abby handwound pickups but as luck would have it she retired the week my guitar was in final assembly. At first I was only getting 2 Abbys and one from her replacement. When I told Dennis how important it was to me he managed to get the last abby 69 in the shop. I was thrilled, its pretty neat to get the very last one. The others are a fat50 in the middle and a red hot in the bridge. The guitar is candy red quilt with a lightly tinted birdseye neck with the customshop logo inlay at the 12th fret. I have never seen a better neck the birdseye figuring couldnt be better. The pearl buttons and pearl fret markers look fantastic. the parchment pickguard and cream knobs fit perfectly with the over all look. I am a huge fan of Dennis' and he out did himself. Its kind of funny I didnt order a burst finish because to my taste Dennis' burst finishes are the best at fender I can allways spot his work. I uploaded a link to pictures of my guitar in my next post.

That sounds like a real beauty, and I look forward to seeing the pics.

It helps to use a photohosting site to put pics up on first, and I use Photobucket for mine, if that is of assistance to you! :)

Heres a link . Is it possible to upload right to thread? Cant seem to figure it out................

Thank you butterscotch, that was a big help. When looking at the pics its best to magnify them two times in order to see the detail its really something. Steve at CMC Guitars sent me these pics im picking it up tomorrow! I think its amazing looking.

By the way anyone looking to order a custom built I recommend CMC Guitars they were great ! Steve made sure everything went smooth and thats saying something because its a long process. Long but a fun process especialy when you have a dealer you can count on working with you.
Dennis was great too I cant say enough positive remarks about the adventure. The most important part is ITS OVER! and i get my guitar tomorrow!

Trouble?

Need a little help?

Done!

Enjoy!

This is truly a wonderful-sounding guitar, dude.

That flame maple top is astounding, the neck is crafted from a gorgeous chunk of birdseye maple and the MOP dot markers on the fretboard give this axe an elegantly esthetic appeal.

I would be glad to see this bad boy in action and hear a few demos posted either as a video or audio samples in MP3 format. :P

To get the pic up on the forum from Photobucket, just click on the URL "link" to the right of the pic, and it should say "copied" as you do so.
Then on the forum, right click and "paste" where you want the pic to go, and you are done!

Lovely looking Strat! :)

Copy the IMG code containing the link, not the URL itself.

Now, just to borrow this pic for a moment, and kick it back to the thread on guitar cases, this is not the type of case I would expect a Masterbuilt Custom Shop guitar to be supplied with. A Teambuilt, perhaps. For the coin you cough up for a Masterbuilt, the case in the photo at the end of the aforementioned thread is what I'm talk'in about. Check it out.
